MALDEF attorneys faced a setback in San Antonio School District v. Rodriguez in 1973, when they failed to convince the U.S. Supreme Court that Texas had violated the Fourteenth Amendment by not providing equal educational opportunities to poor children.

In 1994 MALDEF successfully challenged California’s Proposition 187, a ballot initiative that denied public education, social services, and health services to undocumented immigrants. MALDEF has also argued successfully against at-large election systems—redistricting practices that minimize minority political influence—and (in state courts) against some school funding
